Hello everyone,
Please start by downloading the latest version of volume D01.
If you are new to the course, please read this message to familiarize yourself with the conditions for participating in the lessons. You should also read the first message in lesson 1, where you will find advice on how to make the most of your study time and on the methods of practising that I recommend.

Here are my 3 submissions for 9th lesson. Good luck to you all again for year-end exam.

Hi Ken. I plan on starting with the online lessons in September 2018. As a novice, I will, of course, be starting in D01. I have followed the posts of your lesson pieces and have noted how clear your audio is and how tight your video is (i.e., no hand moving to stop the video, etc.)

I am starting to organize a setup for videoing my future lesson-pieces. May I ask you 3 questions:
(1) What microphone do you use?
(2) What video editor do you use to clip the beginning and end of the video, so just the actual playing is presented?
(3) Now that the youtube video editor no longer allows titling of videos on youtube itself, what program do you use to put a title on your videos? I have been looking at the free VSDC editor and it looks pretty good.

Sorry to burden you with so many questions. But your consistent performances for each lesson represent an inspiration to me. Great work and congrats on getting the D01 diploma.

Hi Judy. Very welcome to Delcamp online lessons. These lessons are very valuable to me. As I have learned ideas of damping note, music got clearer and more joyful, nevertheless I am a beginner.
Glad to hear you liked the quality of video and sound. It isn't fancy Equipment at all.

(2) What video editor do you use to clip the beginning and end of the video, so just the actual playing is presented?
I use Samsung Galaxy S7 with above microphone. Just using oiginal camera app with original editing from smartphone.

(3) Now that the youtube video editor no longer allows titling of videos on youtube itself, what program do you use to put a title on your videos? I have been looking at the free VSDC editor and it looks pretty good.
I never put the title in my video but top title description above of video. When I upload a video from smartphone, I have to fill it out title and descriptions, etc. I didn't use any video editor at all. It was Simple Cut from edit button provided by S7.

I put microphone and smartphone 4' to 6' away from my guitar's sound-hole. It is important to put microphone towards guitar's sound-hole to have best sound from this set up. Sound of my videos have no effect at all.
Have a great practice day!

Ken, Thanks so much for the information. I also noted your previous comments about Bradford Werner's excellent website. I agree that between this wonderful forum and the Bradford Werner offerings, a novice classical guitar enthusiast can get considerable guidance and motivation.
